Absolutely fantastic place! Very clean, all the kitchen amenities you could ask for, modern yet comfy (hard to pull off but they did it) and centrally located in downtown so everything is easy access. Highly recommend!

Amazing apartment! Loved how the 2nd floor and 3rd floor bedrooms were separate both with their own bathrooms! Location is also 5-start - so much to do and walk to... you can even walk to the downtown distilleries if you don't mind a 30' walk! Bed was comfortable and bathrooms were modern and luxurious!

5 Stars – Perfect Stay in the Heart of Bardstown!We absolutely loved our stay at this adorable VRBO! The location couldn’t be better—right in downtown Bardstown and within easy walking distance to everything: restaurants, shops, and historic sites. The home itself was beautifully decorated, cozy, and full of charm. It had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. We can’t recommend this place enough and would definitely stay here again!

Perfect Bardstown Getaway

The location was perfect for everything we wanted to do in Bardstown and Louisville. The property was clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. Stairs are required to access the apartment but even my 80 year old dad had no issue navigating them. Wonderful restaurants, bars and shopping just steps away.

Great Downtown Bardstown Location

We stayed one night on our bourbon trail get away and loved the location right downtown. We enjoyed the convenience of being able to walk around town, out to dinner and breakfast the next morning. The apartment has everything you need and we really enjoyed the gift box, we will definitely be back for a longer stay next time!

We had the best time and recommend the use of this apartment. It was beautiful and located right in the middle of town and spotlessly clean. we were given off street parking and the owner was so nice and accommodating.

About the host

Hosted by Steven Stivers

Host profile image
We opened our Soap and Candle shop in 2015 after spending several years doing local arts & craft festivals. In 2015 we purchased our brick and mortar store which included the upstairs apartment. Steve is also a Pediatric Registered Nurse and enjoys continuing in that field on occasions.

Why they chose this property

In 2018 the upstairs apartment underwent an extensive restoration to create what we believe is one of the nicest places in Bardstown. Everything was either replaced or beautified and made better. We want you to be comfortable just as you would at home. Bardstown was voted as Rand McNally's Most Beautiful Towns in America in 2015 and when you visit our town you will see why. Come check out what Bardstown has to offer: Distillery Tours; History; Dramas; Night Life; Delicious Food; Great Shopping.... and of course BOURBON!!!

What makes this property unique

We do allow pets that are well behaved. While there is not a green space directly outside the apartment there are plenty of green areas within the city block. We do charge a $20 pet fee so that we can pay our cleaner to do extra cleaning after pets. While most pets are great visitors and we can't tell that they have been there we have had a few instances where we have had to do a lot of extra work to clean up and sanitize. It is your responsibility to clean up after your pet if there are any accidents. And under no circumstances should dogs be allowed on the beds.
